 I'm delighted that you're considering applying the law at Cambridge. The law and learning the law are important. We believe that studying law allows you to develop your potential and to contribute to society in a very broad sense. We are passionate about teaching our students well and helping them to develop a deep understanding of the law and the role of law in a civilized society. Our course is not just about learning rules. Our students are encouraged to develop strong analytical, critical, evaluation and communication skills. We want you to leave Cambridge with a strong capacity for independent learning and thinking to think with care and precision, to pay attention to context, to make arguments and express concerns but also to listen to arguments and to the concerns of others, to engage in rational deliberation, to exercise judgment, separate strong arguments from weak. We have an unrivaled reputation throughout the world for the quality of our teaching. We use a range of teaching methods, central to which is the small group supervision system. This enables our students to engage and interact with some of the finest minds. You will follow in the footsteps of heads of state and government, members of the judiciary at the highest level in Britain and around the world, leading members not only of the legal communities but in all walks of life. There is no reason that you cannot equal or better them. I hope that you will find the information on this website helpful and that you will feel that law at Cambridge is the right thing for you.
